Sample Player
General information
This Machine is a basic Sample Player with loop capabilities and a couple of lo-fi effects.
The sample then goes into a Filter section, then an Amp section before going to the Mixer. Read the corresponding sections of the manual to know more about the Filter and Amp sections.
When opening the Sample Player Machine you will land on page 1 of tab 1. Use the first 2 tabs to configure the sample player. Use Tab 3 to configure the Filter section and Tab 4 to configure the Amp section.
The sample tab (Tab 2) has 2 pages containing different controls.. When a Tab header displays small bar icons, click its corresponding button underneath to jump between its pages.
The first page of an oscillator tab is always the same:
| Model |
Frequency |
Transpose |
Volume |
| Select the synthesis type used in the oscillator |
Fine-tune the oscillator. This can be used to achieve beating-effects by having th two oscillators slightly out of tune with each other |
Tune the oscillator by one semitone increments. This can be used to have the Machine play a paraphonic interval, or use one oscillator as a sub |
Adjust the volume at which the oscillator is sent down the signal path (to the Filter section, or directly the the Amp section if all filters are turned off). 100% is unity gain, but it can go up to 200% if you can to overdrive the Filters, Amps or even the final DAC. |
General tab
A saw wave with Sync capabilities.
The oscillator tabs have 2 pages. Page 1 is the same as mentioned earlier.
Page 2:
| Sync |
PhaseMod |

| Above 0%, the saw wave is synced to a master oscillator. This adjusts the frequency of the slave oscillator you're hearing. Modulate for classic sync sounds | Above 0%, the saw wave's phase is modulated by another oscillator tuned at 0.75 times the frequency of the Saw. Increasing the parameter augments the modulation depth |

Sample tab
A swarm of detuned saw waves.
The oscillator tabs have 2 pages. Page 1 is the same as mentioned earlier.
Page 2:
| Density |
Spread |
Fade |
- |
| Choose the number of saw waves in the swarm, up to 12 |
Adjust the amount of detuning between the waves |
Apply a volume fade on the most detuned saw waves to make the output less chaotic |
